She stared in horror as the tip of the blade came closer and closer. She raised her hand in front of her, almost as if 'twas a shield. "No!" she tried to make out, but only a coarse cry came out.
❝Now, are you ready to die for a cause?❞
***
Kylian "Ky" Salsthorn was not a man of honour, nor scholarship, nor wealth -- he never had been. He was a poor thief, and nothing more. He became the guest of an unorthodox princess for her birthday celebration, but during that seemingly delightful time, the king and queen were assassinated. Soon, Ky earned the title of King of the Aurorans after he married the newly coronated queen of Aurora. That was when he encountered the feeling of power for the first time. 'Twas beautiful, 'twas corrupted -- and Kylian was willing to stop at nothing to secure it. And shall he choose to represent tyranny rather than challenge it, let it be inevitable that his demise be stained red with his blood as the crown before him.

Why flowers wither {Completed}
"What have you done to her?" I felt the wetness of her blue armor robe. "Did you torture her?"I asked quickly untying my royal robe to cover her. "Nobody could have imagined she is a lady your highness" "Is she..alive?" Her breathing is shallow and her body is warm with a high fever. I looked carefully to her feminine features hoping i am imagining things. I peeled the fake beard off and it confirmed to me that she really is that veiled lady and from the way her arrogance seared through the court years ago i know she has to be one of Goguryeo Wang's(king)Queens. ************** This is the book 2 and a continuation of "Where flowers wither".

Bloody Crown [COMPLETED]
She was born a wolf in a world that wanted her tamed. Seraphina Ravenshade never asked for silk gowns or gilded palaces, her place has always been the training yard, blade in hand, unflinching before men twice her size. But when the Crown summons her family to the capital, she finds herself forced into a deadly game of politics, power, and temptation. The Crown Prince, Kael, is as dangerous as he is mesmerizing, his golden eyes see too much, his touch burns too deep, and his intentions blur the line between protection and possession. But the shadows whisper another name. Silais, a man with silver hair, a past soaked in blood, and a vow that ties Seraphina to secrets the royal family would kill to bury. Between a prince who cages her with fire and a phantom who claims her in darkness, Seraphina must decide where her loyalty, and her heart truly lies. And in Aurelius, love is just another battlefield. --- 🩸A dark fantasy romance where love is dangerous, power is bloody, and every choice can destroy a kingdom. Read now. But beware, no one escapes unscathed. Hello there! This is my first attempt at writing something, so please bear with me-I'm a bit sloppy when it comes to endings. You might find this story familiar if you're a fan of manhwa. That's no coincidence! This story is inspired by a dream I had after reading a typical romance manhwa (though I can't quite remember which one). All the double gaps means some time delay or skip. I hope you enjoy this little slice of my imagination! 💭✨ This was a one shot in one of my old account (which is not working unfortunately)Complete
